Recently there's been more than one Courant article about the entire UConn Athletic Dept. operating deficit which IIRC is about $7 mil per year.
It seemed to me that the Athletic Director hasn't made a decision yet about incurring new costs because of an agreement to reduce the ongoing deficit problems by 25% annually starting in 2023.
UConn's commitment to continue funding so many nationally ranked Div. 1 sports is up in the air because the AD said that he's not sure how to fund all of the programs while implementing cost cutting measures.
In short, it's probably not up to Geno & CD to make a decision about new hirings, at least not yet since those funding decisions are made by the administrators above them.
On the positive side, the article said that the UConn President is a firm believer in supporting UConn's Div. 1 sports. But the UConn budget and how much the state legislature will fund it in the future is always an ongoing battle.
